Wildlife Endangerment Due to Human Intervention in Nature

"The driving force behind today’s alarming decline in species is the destruction, degradation and fragmentation of habitat due to our increasing human population and wasteful consumption of resources."1 Everyday wildlife is forced to seek refuge in very remote, small areas. As the human population increases, land that was once inhabited by wildlife is urbanized to suit human needs. In other words, the land available for wildlife to survive on keeps diminishing. As houses and roads are constructed, forest are cut down and cleared; consequently eliminating the natural habitats of wildlife. This causes animals to migrate to new areas and seek refuge. Under certain, harsh…show more content…

Humans have a brain that has the capability of reasoning and thinking, which allows them to understand the concept of technology. Animals on the other hand do not have the ability to reason. Since animals do not realize that roads and highways are potentially dangerous, they are often killed. Every year thousands of animals are killed by cars because their homes are destroyed. Even though these killings are accidental, they still decrease the wildlife population.

"Road building associated with agriculture, logging, mining and urban development seriously impacts ecosystems in a number of ways."2 Dirt roads are usually built through forests, causing erosion and therefore degrading the quality of water in streams.3 Paved roads, unlike dirt roads, are not permeable.4 They cause water to drain elsewhere, often polluted with gasoline, oil, and lead off the road.5 "In addition, when roads cut through an ecosystem, further habitat degradation and fragmentation results."6 The polluted water may cause animals to become very ill, and sometimes they die. Even though roads seem harmless, they are very dangerous to nature. Building roads decreases the area that wildlife has to live. They end up inbreeding because they have no place left to go. This is happening to the Florida panther now. Due to lack of land, the panther is forced to mate within its own area

Human nature
In order to accurately understand the concept of political power, and develop it from its source, we must first understand the nature of man. Naturally all men are in a state of perfect liberty. This signifies that they can dispose of their persons and possessions and can order their actions in the way they see as fit, within the limits of nature’s law, without depending on or asking permission from any other man.
A state of equality should exist amongst all men. A state…

the course of that person’s life. Roy Perrett’s “Evil and Human Nature” explains this by elaborating on the customary interpretation of moral evil. This evil, caused by an intentional bad action or harm, opposes another type of evil, natural evil, which occurs without intervention of a human agent. While natural evils, such as hurricanes and disease, may allude to the existence of a greater evil power, moral evils rather exist due to human decision and are more commonly recognized. However, Perrett…

he obstacle of figuring out the nature and instinctual behavior of humans has been toppled by many philosophical writers. Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Niccolo Machiavelli, in the Discourse on the Origin of Inequality and The Prince, subsequently, talks about this subject. In the Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Rousseau talks about the natural human state and is transition to its current civilized state. In The Prince, Machiavelli talks about the nature of humans already…

and help the tiger survive. There are many things that contribute to the endangerment of tigers. The main two reasons tigers are having trouble surviving in the wild is because of the loss of habitat and hunters. Undoubtedly, there are other reasons why tigers are struggling today, but these two are the main causes.
A majority of tigers live in their natural habitat, which is from India all the way to Southeast Asia ("Wildlife Conservation Society"), but they are losing their homes to the construction…

decision makers. The 5th WPC brought human–wildlife conflict (HWC) to the global stage as part of an effort to address current challenges facing protected area management and conservation. The HWC recommendation was informed by a technical workshop that was part of the WPC proceedings. The workshop entitled “Creating Coexistence Between Humans and Wildlife: Global Perspectives on Local Efforts to Address Human-Wildlife Conflict” combined vigorous debate on human–wildlife conflict issues with a technical…

The current study focused on the nature and extend of the battering relationships suffered by the abused women. “[C]hecking onset, duration, self-reported worst incident, and injuries” were the key interview points of this study; however, critical incidents and turning points such as lethal…

As humans there are both similarities and differences among the different people and cultures in the world. Several aspects of human experience that are common to all people are kinship, security, and have their own highly regarded ideas and dreams. These are universal because common human nature is rooted in all humans that have been observed by anthropologists throughout the centuries. Several major kinds of differences between people are the argument between modernization and traditionalism;…

Human Due Diligence
“The success of most acquisitions hinges not on dollars but on people” (Harding, Rouse, 2007). It is often said that people are the most significant and important resource of any organization, yet due diligence sometimes focuses on the corporate, financial, and legal dimensions of the deal while ignoring the people issues. Financial motivation are only a small part of the picture in most mergers, while success and failure of consolidations are profoundly connected to people…
